Eclectic Slate Square Mosaic Tile

Can this tile withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees for long periods of time?

We'd love to know more about how you're planning to use this tile with exposure to sustained high-degree heat!

It is approved for backsplash use behind a gas or electric range - make sure your appliances are installed according to fire codes to ensure that there are no safety hazards from heat sources in your kitchen.

It can be used as a fireplace surround on the exterior of a fireplace. Tiles should not be installed inside the firebox for wood or gas fireplaces, but only used on the facing.

If you have other usage questions or are looking for materials for alternate uses, please contact our customer service team so we can learn more about what you are planning.

What is the tile thickness?

This mosaic tile is approximately 5/16" thick

Can this be used as backsplash on the wall behind the stove? Can it be easily cleaned? What product would you recommend for cleaning?

Yes, this tile can be used behind the stove for a backsplash wall! It's made of glass, resin, and ceramic - none of which are porous materials that would absorb stains from cooking. You can use a gentle household cleaner intended for those materials to wipe it clean after use. We do recommend applying a grout sealer to grout lines to keep them fresh and keep them from absorbing stains as well.

Is this tile appropriate for fireplace surround? In other words, is it heat resistant?

Yes, you can use the Eclectic Slate Square Mosaic Tile as a fireplace surround - the materials appropriate for use behind the stove or around a fireplace insert (as long as they are not installed directly adjacent to the heat source, i.e. inside the firebox)

Can this be used with heated flooring?

This mixed-media tile is made of glass, resin, and ceramic elements, all of which should be compatible with heated floors; however, we always recommend checking the specifications of the heated elements you're using. Double check with the installer that the system is approved for these materials before you proceed.
